And while Bibb gets the blame for crime in the city, the only ones that can solve this problem reside in Columbus and Washington DC.
So how are you going to take away guns from the criminals? Taking them away from legal owners is not the answer.

How is Bibb a horrible mayor? He just hired a bunch more cops and raised salaries in a financially struggling city. What more do folks want him to do re crime? He can't stop every fool that's out there unfortunately.

Bibb's actually a good mayor. A young, vibrant, dynamic politician in a country where the best we can come up in a country with 330 million people is a septuagenarian and an octogenarian. He's a good image for a city trying to rebrand itself as new and with-it.
I loathe and despise him being in bed with the charter schools and his nonstop endorsement of that junk, as well as a lack of a concerted and consistent effort on all things Public Square, but otherwise he's good and so are the people around him.

I saw a home I liked and it's red and the area was full of kids out walking and doing normal kid stuff. It didn't look or seem dangerous and the homes were kept very well.

I wonder sometimes about these maps.
Those maps are very misleading. Industrial area is so red. WHO lives there? No one. Wharf river rats and night watchmen? Based on that, Death Valley California is also probably red.

Not bad but could even be better. If I'm Bibb, I'm calling Michelle Wu, mayor of Boston to see how they got down 82%!

"The key to our success here in Boston is that we are never going to be satisfied until we eliminate violence in our city," - Wu
